Besides the top players and seeds were three players who have impressed in this tournament and as they were:
1-JCFerrero-this being the first tournament that we play this year but did not feel it succeeding quarter-finals lost to compatriot Almagro 36 46 but showing a quality 2-Tennis-Ivan Dogig in my best shape Croatian he continues climb in rankings that managing a semifinal loss to the king Nadal-Ferrer 36-March 26 No. 2 in Spain continue his good form on clay and lost the final but the king Nadal unfortunately for him.
The tour begins with big surprises here as unfortunately I made three big surprises: a double-finalist at Roland Garos Soderling in the first round lost to Croat Ivan Dogig disappointed many people who have expectations of him two young Ukrainian-Alexandr Dolgopolov, the had a losing week since the first round failed to Melzer is showing that only player in early March, so inconsistent Melzer-player fails to overcome the nightmare of losing or Ferrer and leaving it at that.
Otherwise local favorite and Nadal and Ferrer have managed a 100-100 final local and expected by everyone but the results and the match was just like the Monte Carlo Nadal gave him no chance of winning good friend 62 or 64 and managed to win the 45 title of his career until now. In doubles or imposed Santiago Gonzalez / Scott Lipsky who twice defeated the best in history frat Bryan.
